Why are we calling our Fall spiritual emphasis, Fire Fall? It is based on an Old Testament story found in 1 Kings 18:18-40. You can read it by clicking on the link. In the story God revealed himself by fire, showing himself to be real, willing to intervene in human situations, and a God who hears prayer. We are believing that God will make himself real to you. We believe that God will intervene in your situations. We believe that God will answer your prayers during this special week.
We are expecting a special move of God as his blessings fall upon us. Fire is symbolic of several themes in the Bible. Fire is symbolic of God's purifying process (1 Cor. 3:13; Rev. 3:18). Fire is also symbolic of God's power (1 Thess 5:19; 2 Thess 1:7). Lastly, fire is symbolic of God's presence (Gen 15:17; Ex. 3:2; 13:21; Acts 2:3).
I am hungry for more of God! I am hungry for more of his purity, more of his power to strengthen me, and more of his presence to assure me.
